Take a look at Andrew’s traffic plan below – which includes better signal devices, more efficient timing, and corner bump-outs(which Hoboken411 has been suggesting for years).

411 Money Saving Idea: Cut $140k from the Hoboken budget by scrapping the “Transportation Director” and enlisting students from our local engineering school to submit multiple projects on an annual basis (for school credit of course!)

Now, you kids are probably saying to yourself, “Now, I’m gonna go out, and I’m gonna get the world by the tail, and wrap it around and put it in my pocket!!” Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re probably gonna find out, as you go out there, that you’re not gonna amount to Jack Squat!!” You’re gonna end up eating a steady diet of government cheese, and living in a van down by the river!

Take garden street and exclude single passenger vehicles from it? Do we have that much HOV traffic and won’t this make the traffic on other street that much worse? Plus what if you live on Garden and are driving home alone, will you get stopped by our crack cops while parking?

I give these kids credit for thinking outside of the box but their ideas don’t seem to take into account real world limitations or how displaced traffic will make other areas far worse.

No no no to Washington St. curb extensions. I’ve dealt with a number of these in South Jersey, on much lower-traffic roads. They are a total nightmare to vehicle throughput as is, let alone adding a high volume bus route to the road as well.

They might work a lot of places in Hoboken, but definitely not the main thorofare.
